Politico, Scarborough and I am on the same page for once…

Haley Barbour is a first rate Gov, (look at Mississippi’s recovery from Katrina vs La.) who is a solid conservative and republican and if he runs he would without a question be the most qualified candidate in the field.

Don’t get me wrong I absolutely think Sarah Palin is awesome, her willingness to take on this administration when others would not is very important and absent Barbour I would without a question support her, but if he is in the field on primary day I can’t see how I can support her over him and of course a Barbour/Palin ticket would be incredible, particularly since Palin still being a young woman (in terms of presidential politics) could easily do two terms afterwords. Palin would also excel in the traditional vice presidential role of speaking for and defending conservative politics and principles of such an administration

Joe mentions that a white Mississippi governor running against Barack Obama is going to be treated like Bull Connor by the MSM, the NAACP et/al, but then again any candidate running against Obama will be treated as such. That is true but the media has overdrawn on both the race card and their credibility account so I wouldn’t worry about it.

Joe Scarborough nails it…

…no not on the right and wrong of the mosque, but he is correct that Gingrich is more about selling books and becoming a permanent voice.

That doesn’t mean that Newt doesn’t believe that the mosque is wrong but he is taking advantage of this for other reasons.

Pat is also right bringing up Sarah Palin likely “Neut”-tralizing Gingrich if she runs.

What Joe hasn’t figured out is that Americans understand this position and what it means, but the elites can’t wrap their heads around it because of their sensitivity meters. Joe understands and says that most Americans would like to see the mosque elsewhere but doesn’t dare vocalize why the majority of Americans aren’t bigots or ignorant for that opinion so.

I was taking my mother with me to visit my son in the Hospital yesterday and I mentioned the president’s position and the level of disgust she had for the president was incredible on this issue.

His previous positions had already caused her to leave the Democratic party that she had been part of for over 60 years. As part of the WW 2 generation this hits her where she lives.

Pity the media who want to support their man in the White House but really can’t tell their customer base what they actually think of them.

The moment I said this Chuck Todd suggests the American People “Aren’t mature enough.” This is what is lovingly called a “gaffe” actually saying what you think aloud.

Morning Joe: Sarah Palin? Who’s that?

We knew the Mosque issue was going to be all over the news.

Morning Joe has been a shield in front of the president all Morning vocally defending the president without hesitation on the NY Mosque issue.

But defense is not enough so they decided to counterattack, however Who they choose to attack says a lot about what they think.

This weekend on on Facebook Sarah Palin said this:

Mr. President, should they or should they not build a mosque steps away from where radical Islamists killed 3000 people? Please tell us your position. We all know that they have the right to do it, but should they? And, no, this is not above your pay grade. If those who wish to build this Ground Zero mosque are sincerely interested in encouraging positive “cross-cultural engagement” and dialogue to show a moderate and tolerant face of Islam, then why haven’t they recognized that the decision to build a mosque at this particular location is doing just the opposite? Mr. President, why aren’t you encouraging the mosque developers to accept Governor Paterson’s generous offer of assistance in finding a new location for the mosque on state land if they move it away from Ground Zero? Why haven’t they jumped at this offer? Why are they apparently so set on building a mosque steps from what you have described, in agreement with me, as “hallowed ground”? I believe these are legitimate questions to ask.

A clear, lucid statement from one of the leading contenders if not THE leading contender for the Republican Nomination in 2012. A person who was on a National Ticket just 2 years ago.

Normally Sarah Palin means views and hits so naturally they would be injecting her whenever possible…

…but this statement would win votes, so we can’t have that.

Instead they are going after Newt Gingrich for saying it is like “putting a Swastika next to the Holocaust museum” (they don’t manage to quote him saying: “There should be no mosque near Ground Zero in New York so long as there are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia.” too many people would get that), and are touting him both as a voice of intolerance and as the republican front runner.

Let’s cut to the chase. Newt Gingrich is no more going to be the Republican nominee in 2012 that I am. These people know this, but pretend otherwise.

This is simply political cover, cover for Obama’s statements and covering up Sarah Palin’s statements so a weak White House doesn’t have to respond.

It’s not every day that you hear Holocaust Joke first thing when you turn the TV

but when I got downstairs Joe Scarborough making fun of Bill McCollum’s plan concerning Illegal aliens.

His point about him trailing and trying to make up ground with this is valid but saying his plan involves having them wear something yellow on the shirt just here and advising illegals “not to get on the train, they’re not taking you to Kissimmee.”

Joe I like ya but C’MON!

If I’m Imus I’m playing this clip over and over and over for the next week.

See what happens when Mika takes a week off?
